Public Attributes
VkInstance	Instance
	The handle to Vulkan's instance object, for use in backend.

VkPhysicalDevice	PhysicalDevice
	The handle to the Vulkan's software representaion of GPU, for use in backend.

VkDevice	Device
	A logical device handle. Device is an appropriate instance using which swapchains, framebuffers, and all such Vulkan resources are instantiated and created. For use in backend.

uint32_t	QueueFamily
	Graphics queue family (valued in unsigned integer) properties used for creating commandpool, swapchain, and logical device. For backend.

VkQueue	Queue
	Opaque handle to a queue object. For backend submission of queues via vkQueueSubmit.

VkDescriptorPool	DescriptorPool
	A fresh descriptor pool created in KarmaGuiRenderer::CreateDescriptorPool() (seperate from VulkanVertexArray::CreateDescriptorPool()) for the uniforms and texture purposes. In this backend chiefly for KarmaGuiVulkanHandler::KarmaGui_ImplVulkan_AddTexture routine.

VkRenderPass	RenderPass
	A handle to render pass object which represents a collection of attachments (depth attachment or colo(u)r attachment ), subpasses, and dependencies between the subpasses, and describes how the attachments are used over the course of the subpasses. Taken from the one created in VulkanContext::CreateRenderPass().

VkPipelineCache	PipelineCache
	Usually this cache is set to VK_NULL_HANDLE, indicating that pipeline caching is disabled; or the handle of a valid pipeline cache object, in which case use of that cache is enabled for the duration of the command.

uint32_t	Subpass
	Not sure what the sue of this Subpass is. Seems vestigial?

uint32_t	MinImageCount
	The minimum number of images the specified device supports for a swapchain created for the surface, and will be at least one plus one.

uint32_t	ImageCount
	The number of elements in the pSwapchainImages array, i.e number of presentable swapchain images available (vkGetSwapchainImagesKHR).

VkSampleCountFlagBits	MSAASamples
	Is a VkSampleCountFlagBits value specifying the number of samples used in rasterization. This value is ignored for the purposes of setting the number of samples used in rasterization if the pipeline is created with the VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_RASTERIZATION_SAMPLES_EXT dynamic state set, but if VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_SAMPLE_MASK_EXT dynamic state is not set, it is still used to define the size of the pSampleMask array.

const VkAllocationCallbacks *	Allocator
	A pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure. Structure containing callback function pointers for memory allocation.

Detailed Description

A data structure for Vulkan's initialization done in KarmaGuiRenderer::KarmaGui_ImplVulkan_Init()

Mostly, with the exception of DescriptorPool, the handles are referring to the objects, instantiated by VulkanContext::Init() function, set via KarmaGuiRenderer::SetUpKarmaGuiRenderer

Note: Should be zero cleared before use

Member Data Documentation

◆ Allocator

const VkAllocationCallbacks* Karma::KarmaGui_ImplVulkan_InitInfo::Allocator

A pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure. Structure containing callback function pointers for memory allocation.

Note: Since Dear ImGui's implementation is using this technique, I am just not interfering where I'd be using NULL.

Since: Karma 1.0.0

◆ DescriptorPool

VkDescriptorPool Karma::KarmaGui_ImplVulkan_InitInfo::DescriptorPool

A fresh descriptor pool created in KarmaGuiRenderer::CreateDescriptorPool() (seperate from VulkanVertexArray::CreateDescriptorPool()) for the uniforms and texture purposes. In this backend chiefly for KarmaGuiVulkanHandler::KarmaGui_ImplVulkan_AddTexture routine.

Since: Karma 1.0.0

◆ Device

VkDevice Karma::KarmaGui_ImplVulkan_InitInfo::Device

A logical device handle. Device is an appropriate instance using which swapchains, framebuffers, and all such Vulkan resources are instantiated and created. For use in backend.

Since: Karma 1.0.0

◆ ImageCount

uint32_t Karma::KarmaGui_ImplVulkan_InitInfo::ImageCount

The number of elements in the pSwapchainImages array, i.e number of presentable swapchain images available (vkGetSwapchainImagesKHR).

Note: Taken from VulkanContext where (VulkanContext::CreateSwapChain()) ImageCount is defined MinImageCount + 1.

Since: Karma 1.0.0

◆ Instance

VkInstance Karma::KarmaGui_ImplVulkan_InitInfo::Instance

The handle to Vulkan's instance object, for use in backend.

Since: Karma 1.0.0

◆ MinImageCount

uint32_t Karma::KarmaGui_ImplVulkan_InitInfo::MinImageCount

The minimum number of images the specified device supports for a swapchain created for the surface, and will be at least one plus one.

Note: Taken from VulkanContext and supposed to be >= 2.

Since: Karma 1.0.0

◆ MSAASamples

VkSampleCountFlagBits Karma::KarmaGui_ImplVulkan_InitInfo::MSAASamples

Is a VkSampleCountFlagBits value specifying the number of samples used in rasterization. This value is ignored for the purposes of setting the number of samples used in rasterization if the pipeline is created with the VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_RASTERIZATION_SAMPLES_EXT dynamic state set, but if VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_SAMPLE_MASK_EXT dynamic state is not set, it is still used to define the size of the pSampleMask array.

Note: >= VK_SAMPLE_COUNT_1_BIT (0 -> default to VK_SAMPLE_COUNT_1_BIT)

Since: Karma 1.0.0

◆ PhysicalDevice

VkPhysicalDevice Karma::KarmaGui_ImplVulkan_InitInfo::PhysicalDevice

The handle to the Vulkan's software representaion of GPU, for use in backend.

Since: Karma 1.0.0

◆ PipelineCache

VkPipelineCache Karma::KarmaGui_ImplVulkan_InitInfo::PipelineCache

Usually this cache is set to VK_NULL_HANDLE, indicating that pipeline caching is disabled; or the handle of a valid pipeline cache object, in which case use of that cache is enabled for the duration of the command.

Since: Karma 1.0.0

◆ Queue

VkQueue Karma::KarmaGui_ImplVulkan_InitInfo::Queue

Opaque handle to a queue object. For backend submission of queues via vkQueueSubmit.

Since: Karma 1.0.0

◆ QueueFamily

uint32_t Karma::KarmaGui_ImplVulkan_InitInfo::QueueFamily

Graphics queue family (valued in unsigned integer) properties used for creating commandpool, swapchain, and logical device. For backend.

For instance Queue family #0 supports transfer, graphics, compute, and presentation

Since: Karma 1.0.0

◆ RenderPass

VkRenderPass Karma::KarmaGui_ImplVulkan_InitInfo::RenderPass

A handle to render pass object which represents a collection of attachments (depth attachment or colo(u)r attachment ), subpasses, and dependencies between the subpasses, and describes how the attachments are used over the course of the subpasses. Taken from the one created in VulkanContext::CreateRenderPass().

Since: Karma 1.0.0

◆ Subpass

uint32_t Karma::KarmaGui_ImplVulkan_InitInfo::Subpass

Not sure what the sue of this Subpass is. Seems vestigial?

Since: Karma 1.0.0
